Arsenal have only met Bayer Leverkusen once in European competition, drawing 1-1 in Germany and winning 4-1 at Highbury in the 2nd Group Stage of the 2001-02 Champions League. Despite this, the Gunners went out and the Germans won the group and went on to make the final against Real Madrid.

With Max Dowman & Marli Salmon in the line up, Arsenal are the first ever Premier League side to start a game with two players aged 16 or under in any competition.

Arsenal themselves have done it twice v Chelsea in 2017-18 and v West Ham in 1997-98.

Well, it doesn't make sense to do it by month, but more by number of games. They had netted 103 by game 46 (by April) in 2016-17. But they had also netted 103 by game 46 (by March) in 2010-11 & 2009-10, so either way it's not the most since the 20s.

Mansfield had 11 shots in the first-half.

That’s the most Arsenal have conceded in the first-half of a match this season, in all comps.

Arsenal scored their second corner goal of the day v Chelsea.

Arsenal scored their second corner goal of the day v Chelsea.

16 - Arsenal's 16 goals from corners in the Premier League this season is the joint-most by any side in a single campaign, alongside Oldham in 1992-93, West Brom in 2016-17, and the Gunners themselves in 2023-24. Angles.
